Travel Guide 2013

Hullett House

Not what you'd expect on the skyscraper skyline of wham-bam-thank
you ma'am Hong Kong. But here is a lovely colonial relic set in the
heart of town overlooking the harbour. It doesn't even really look
like a hotel. But there you go. Back in the day, polo and
lawn-tennis matches would have been played in front of the
balconies, but now it's all about brunch on the veranda. Proper
champagne-fuelled brunch (brunch is big in HK). And this former
marine police headquarters is also a pretty awesome place to sleep
over when you've overdone it. The 10 rooms are all completely
different, mapping the history of Hong Kong through the last
century, so you can go for ultra-shiny lacquer in the Shek O suite,
hand-painted bamboo and songbird wallpaper in Stanley, or Chinese
pop-art craziness in Casam - plastic pig sculptures and Chairman
Mao blowing bubblegum on the walls. A breath of fresh air.
